World Series: San Francisco Giants' fan livin' it up in New York City named 2012 MLB Fan Cave winner

One of the notable Giants fans in Detroit is 25-year-old Hayward native Ashley Chavez, who has spent the past six months living expense-free in Manhattan as the team's fan representative at Major League Baseball's Fan Cave in New York City. Chavez was one of nine fans selected from more than 22,000 applicants who crafted essays about their devotion to their favorite team.

Chavez, who was working at a Men's Wearhouse a year ago as a tuxedo manager, watched all 162 regular-season games of the Giants' season at the Fan Cave, an interactive experience and social media center at Fourth and Broadway in Manhattan. One of three remaining "survivors" of the Fan Cave competition, she has been present at all four World Series games.
